Our Best Answer: How do I get a Book Advance?

Book Advance

If you're eligible for a Federal PELL Grant and your award exceeds your tuition and fees cost, you may be eligible for a Book Advance to pay for your books. Book Advances are funds given to PELL eligible students in advance after tuition and fees are covered.

Book Advance-eligible students must:

  • Have filed a FAFSA
  • Have completed verification (if selected)
  • Be PELL eligible
  • Have registered for classes
  • Meet deadline (financial aid package must be completed prior to the beginning of the term)

For further details, contact the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@lagcc.cuny.edu.
